and others involved in creating and distributing the 2013 single “Dark Horse” improperly followed the court’s instructions in reaching their verdict. They claim that because the plaintiffs failed the so-called “extrinsic” test for copyright infringement, they never should have applied the “intrinsic” test in the first place.
“The jury as fact finder only reaches the question of intrinsic similarity after it has been established that the defendant’s work is extrinsically substantially similar to the plaintiff’s protectable expression,” the brief reads. “If a jury finds that there is no extrinsic similarity, as it should have here, it may not evaluate the works for intrinsic similarity.
Musicologists behind the brief claim that the extrinsic test failed because the eight-note ostinato at issue in the case -- contained in the 2008 rap single “Joyful Noise” by Christian rapper Flame , who first sued Perry in July 2014 -- is made up of unprotectable musical “building blocks." They further allege that the sequence of pitches comprising the ostinato -- i.e. how the building blocks work in combination -- is “trite” and not deserving of copyright protection.
Later in the brief, the musicologists claim that after inputting the “Joyful Noise” ostinato into musical search engine

Given that I can barely tell the difference between Katy Perry and the other pop stars who have their voices pitch corrected over a quarter time computer drum pattern, I find it hard to give a shit. Pop needs musicians with a work ethic. Like Prince. Prince worked his ass off.

Go Katy! It was a stupid case to begin with! Should never have been prosecuted in the first place!

Meh, Dark Horse is a miserable, blatant copy of something original and if you can't hear that, you're part of the problem.
She is coming
Yea. This is a hard one, I hear the note-similarities; yet Flame's 'Joyful Noise' seemingly has one-long succession (of monotone beeps) ... while 'Dark Horse' is a full-fledged song. Feels like it's more of a coincidence, then a copyright infringement.
